Yelp.com Review - by Jess C.

4.0 of 5 stars. It's great that Ames has a place like this... and I might give the place five stars if it weren't for the music, the wait, and the strange menu design (what's up with the new menus, they're barely...

Yelp.com Review - by Andrea S.

3.0 of 5 stars. The Cafe needs a bar. Visiting Ames from Seattle, The Cafe was highly recommended. We were told that the wait would be 45 minutes. What?!?! When we learned that there was nowhere to wait, except...

Yelp.com Review - by Lindsay H.

2.0 of 5 stars. For a restaurant that bills itself as progressive, why don't they have more vegetarian dishes? They also claim the menu changes all the time. What they really mean is that they have about 3 menus...

Yelp.com Review - by Steve B.

4.0 of 5 stars. The Cafe is a favorite spot in Ames for anything from a decent lunch to a full-on nice dinner. Only caution is that this is a place for smaller parties (4 or less) and it is clear that is on purpose....

Yelp.com Review - by Roz S.

3.0 of 5 stars. When the Cafe first opened, I used to visit it very frequently. The food is generally good, though, with the price increases they have done, a bit poor on value. The menu is generally solid but very...

3.0 of 5 stars. I've been to this restaurant several times and had both good and bad experiences. Typically if you get an experienced server you should have a great dining experience. There are a few knowledgeable...

Yumm Yumm, The Cafe

What a great place for a morning coffee break, an afternoon appetizer, or a fine dining dinner. The atmosphere is jazzy and intimate. The food is phenominal. The menu changes every few months but see...
